So, love takes many, many expressions. It takes the form of caringness.

See, we look at love as some maybe advanced state and “Oh, we’re not there yet.” No, that’s not so. Love is constant in our life, see, because nobody is completely at one level or another, see. Let’s say, well, this guy is at 125, so he can’t know what the higher levels on the Map are like. No, certain aspects of him do. And those aspects show up in certain aspects of life. So, we begin to nurture those aspects and appreciate those aspects of life in which love is taking a form not easily labeled as love. See, in our world love, you know, denotes romance, denotes here and there, denotes a ‘me’ loving ‘you,’ and a ‘you’ loving ‘me.’ And that kind of love can be lost. It can be won, or gained, or lost, or taken away from you. So that’s a different kind of love than spiritual love which is awareness of a reality that is within you at all times. So, in reality, love is a way of being in the world.

Love is actually a style, a way of being. It’s a way of holding yourself in life and every aspect of life within an overall context. And that overall context gives it a different meaning and significance, a different appearance, huh? It is just as important to polish the chromium as it is to save the life of somebody dying by the side of the street, you understand? It’s just that capacity takes this form here, it turns over the beetle that’s on its back, here it saves somebody that’s bleeding by the side of the street and calls 911; and here, it helps you in the door so you can get through, you see what I’m saying? So, it’s that capacity, that willingness to be that to the world.

…So, we see that love takes a thousand different forms, often unrecognized as what it is. As one gets more spiritually committed and advanced, you know, you begin to recognize its expression and you begin to see love everywhere. And, as you get into certain states, the beauty and perfection of all things and the constant presence of love become somewhat staggering. At that point, it may be somewhat difficult to function in the world, because everything reflects this beauty and consequently one has a tendency to break into tears. So, as you get into, let’s say, the high 500s, there’s a phase in which you cry all the time.

Q: The attractions of the world seem endless.  Is it really safe to go there? I often just want to escape.

A. The attractions are not innate to the world, but reflect projected values and the expectation of the payoffs of ego satisfactions.  In actuality, joy stems from within and is not dependent on externals.  Pleasure is associated with what is valued and esteemed.  Much of projected value arises from imagination, and values reflect desires.  In reality, nothing is more valuable than anything else other than spiritual fulfillment.

Daily Reflections from Dr. David R. Hawkins, pg. 133

We could say that force is a movement….Force always moves against something, whereas power does not move against anything.

Power stands still.  It is like a standing field that does not move. Gravity itself, for instance, does not move against anything.  Its power moves all objects within its field, but the gravity field itself does not move.

Power vs Force Card Deck

Added excerpt from Power vs Force book, Ch. 8, pg. 154

Power is total and complete in and of itself and requires nothing from outside itself. It makes no demands; it has no needs. Because force has an insatiable appetite, it constantly consumes. Power in contrast, energizes, gives forth, supplies, and supports.  We notice that Power is associated with compassion and makes us feel positively about ourselves.

Read how  Dr. Hawkins describes how he transcended his own severe fear of heights.

Another technique to eliminate negative emotions is to let go of their associated mental images that attract and amplify associated emotions.  Just refuse the image and cancel the temptation to indulge in it.

While doing research and experimenting with this technique, I had an experience that demonstrates one of the principles being described. I had a lifetime fear of heights which was so severe that when I went to visit the Grand Canyon for the first time, I literally could not walk within one hundred feet of the edge. It created that panicky feeling even when I saw somebody else get near the edge.  I was using this technique whenever I could and enjoying the progress I was making with it, but I had never gotten around to working on my  fear of heights.  The next time I went back to the Grand Canyon about two years later, much to my amazement, I could walk up to within about 20 feet of the edge before the tight feeling occurred in the stomach again. I continued to use the technique over the next year or two and again went back to revisit the Canyon.  Much to my surprise, I could walk right up to the very edge….What I had been releasing was the accumulated pressure and energy of all that fear from a lifetime.  Similar to a pressure tank, as it released itself, there was less and less to spill over into life experiences.

The letting go of resisting is so effective because resistance traps us into a certain state of consciousness; resistance is within.  Fear is a negative energy that calibrates at 100, and traps us in the field.  We can not get beyond it so we become the victim of our own fears unless we own that we are the source of them. As long as we rationalize and say that the source of fear is ‘out there’, we cannot overcome it. Once we begin to own that we are the experiencer, that we are the one who sets up the way in which we experience things, then we become the one who is master of the situation.

Healing and Recovery, Ch. 9, pgs. 275-276

The relinquishing of judgmentalism greatly increases the capacity of Love, as does surrendering the wanting of anything from others. Thus, people are not perceived according to what they have or do but by appreciation for what they are and have become. Love is self-fulfilling and thus does not seek gain or to compensate for lack.

Love is self-fulfilling  and thus does not seek gain or to compensate for lack. Because it does not need to ‘get’, it is therefore free to peacefully ‘be with’ and appreciate. To Love, the world is more benign and its people appear more friendly and available. There is an increased feeling of safety and identification with mankind in general and concern for the welfare and happiness of others.
